Radio | The Gateway 7001 Series |
| single band version. |
| |
| If you have the single band version of the Gateway 7001 AP, this box is not |
| included on the Radio tab. |
| |
| The dual band access point capable of broadcasting in two different IEEE |
| 802.11 modes simultaneously. |
| • Radio One runs in IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes. |
| • Radio Two runs in IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11a Turbo modes. |
| Specify Radio One or Radio Two. For the dual band AP, the rest of the |
| settings on this tab apply to the radio selected in this box. |
|
|
Status (On/Off) | Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off. |
|
|
Mode | The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the |
| radio. |
| |
| For the |
| • IEEE 802.11b |
| • IEEE 802.11g |
| |
| For the dual band access point, different modes are available depending on |
| whether you chose Radio One or Radio Two in the Radio box above. |
| For Radio One configuration, select either of these modes: |
| • IEEE 802.11b |
| • IEEE 802.11g |
| For Radio Two configuration, select either of these modes: |
| • IEEE 802.11a |
| • Atheros Turbo 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a Turbo). |
|
|
Channel | The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses |
| for transmitting and receiving. The range of channels and the default channel |
| are determined by the Mode of the radio interface. The Mode can only be |
| set to allow channels within those allowed by the regulatory agencies in the |
| regions for which this device was intended. |
| For most Modes, the default is “Auto”. Auto is the recommended mode |
| because it automatically detects the best channel choices based on signal |
| strength, traffic loads, and so on. |
